+ NTRP Level
For a fun and competitive experience, you should be of NTRP 3.0 to 3.5.
+ Ladder Guidelines
There will be up to 5 players in each group, and each player will play 4 matches in a round-robin format. Each match should be completed in 30 to 45 minutes.
A match consists of one 6-game set. If the set is tied at 6-6, a 7-point tie-breaker game is used to determine the winner. The scoring system of the ladder is as follows:
(1) If the winner is higher ranked, he or she receives 7 points added to his or her current Ladder League points.
(2) If the winner is ranked lower than the opponent, the winner will be awarded with 10 points.
(3) The loser receives 1 point for each game that he or she won. For example, if the game score was 6-2, the loser still receives 2 points.
(4) A player can only hold points from the last three months. As the weeks progress, points that were earned more than 3 months ago will expire, and the player's overall points will decrease unless he or she continues to play.The advantages of such a ranking system are: (a) ranks are determined by both performance and active participation; (b) players can easily join the ladder at any point in time; and (c) even a loss gets rewarded based on the effort during the match.
+ Prizes
At the end of six weeks, trophies will be awarded for the Champion, Runner-Up and 2nd Runner-Up.
